The album is following the band’s latest release from September 2024 with more tracks. The band has already shared a song called ‘Mariah Carey Through Death Valley’ and have now shared their latest addition, a reflective song called ‘The Honeymoon’. ‘Gary’, released in September 2024, became Blossoms’ fourth Number 1 album, following their self-titled debut in 2016, ‘Foolish Loving Spaces’ in 2020, and ‘Ribbon Around The Bomb’.

The song lyrics build up a strong storyline of a husband overthinking his relationship after forgetting his anniversary to his wife. News of the single comes right after the band announced a full summer of touring with slots at Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool. They are also set to play some huge outdoor shows with Inhaler, including headline gigs at Forest Live in Delamere Forest, TK Maxx Presents Derby Summer Sessions, and and TK Maxx Presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.

Speaking to NME last September, around the release of the record, Ogden, the band’s lead vocalist said: “Blossoms has really taken the live show to another level in the ‘Gary’ era. It does feel like we’ve really stepped it up again,. That’s important because I don’t want to drift off into the abyss like so many other bands do. This album is helping us stand out from the crowd a little bit.”

The band recently completed an Australian tour with Kasabian and next month will begin a European tour with Inhaler, which includes shows in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Berlin, and Amsterdam, before they join Stereophonics on their run of stadium and outdoor shows.

Cassia is composed of vocalist Rob Ellis, bassist Lou Cotterill, and drummer Jacob Leff. Collectively, the group have cited World Music as a shared inspiration, with frontman Ellis saying: “Speaking personally I think the thing that interests me the most is the unpredictability of the music. It’s cool knowing that there’s an endless vat of unexplored approaches ideas out there to take influence from.” Having spent part of his childhood in Zambia, lead singer Ellis was exposed to West African music and has brought this mastery into Cassia’s sound. Their Home Soon… EP was constructed all over the world, taking influence from every corner of the globe. The band commented on their recent writing style, claiming: “we felt that gave us a new lease of life creatively.”

Moreover, when asked about the EP in general, the band said: “Summed up the EP is based around life cycles. I feel that l always struggle to cope with chapters drawing to a natural close because it forces me to change what is comfortable, it is just a natural response of mine and so these songs act as an outlet for me, some tracks reminded me of the positive outcomes that come off the back of change, whilst some songs were jotted down during a painful switch of reality.”

In honour of the release of their new EP, Cassia will be performing a one off intimate show in London this March. For more information and tickets, click here.
